When the babies are playing on a blanket on the floor Mini Mart will have a binkie and Ethan will crawl (on his toes and arms) over, rip out the binkie making Mini Mart sad and sometimes cry. Ethan................ what are we going to do with you?

Oh boy!
I am so excited for school tomorrow! We get to splatter paint in art class. We also get to do textures. Five grades get one art teacher (wich she isn't as fun as Mrs. Torman) Mrs. Torman is awsome! We do so many fun things! They spent so much money on it though. We are using really nice stuff. She said the school has invested thousands of dolllars in it. (it was either a thousand or thousands i can't remember) Well till next time

How to quickly embarass your child
So, on Saturday afternoon Meghan accompanied me to the grocery store for my bi-weekly shopping extravaganza. While checking out, one of Bowman's regular bag boys, Brian, helped us bag our groceries. He has helped me on many occasions before including one time when Marta Pinto was here. (She asked Brian if he had served a mission yet . . . he told her he was still in high school. She told him that if he were to be called to Brasil, that she would take care of him and cook him amazing meals . . .which I do not doubt.) Anyway, as you can see . . . I have had many a conversation with, Brian.
While we were loading groceries in the back of the van, Brian said, "Can I call you Pam? You look like a Pam to me." I told him that he could call me Pam; but, that my name was actually Shauna. I then proceded to tell him that my close friends call me "Hot Shauna." It was at this point that I saw Meghan turn red and head straight for the front seat. As Brian was walking back to the store, he turned around and yelled, "Hey, Hot Shauna, great pants." I exclaimed, "They're 'HOT' aren't they?" Meghan gasped from inside the van and said, "Mother, you are so embarassing!"

Tag, again by Megster
Ten years ago, living at my grandparents house as a little baby most likely crying for my mother
Five years ago, I was in kindergarten loving school
One year, helping my mom while she was on "restrictated activity"
Yesterday, I went to my brother and friends soccer games and played with my friend
Things I heart, being apprieciated, school,friends,sewing, reading
Five bad habits, plucking my eybrows and nose, eavsdropping, leaving clothes on the floor and not in my laundry basket (my mom mentioned this one), pestering(my mom also mentioned), worrying
Five things I hate, getting sick, mice, rollercoasters, people not apprieciating me, worrying
What I would do if I had a 100$ million dollars, buy tons of books,clothes, put most of it in a savings account for mission/college/later on in life
Five places I would run off to, Europe, New York, Holland, Conneticut, Canada
Now it is somebody elses turn!

Jacob the Great
Well, so Jacob is now in full swing with his soccer games. He is very excited because his jersey is #5. That also happens to be the same jersey number as his favorite Jazz player, Carlos Boozer wears. Yeah, its pretty cool! Today and last week, Jacob lost his games. He was sooooo close to scoring a goal, too! He said to me, "Mom, I know I shouldn't say this very loudly, but OUR TEAM SUCKS!" Poor Jacob . . . .
I'm Trying to Be Like Michael
So, after reading Michael's blog today, I took his little career cruise and this is what it said for me:
Sign Maker
Fashion Designer
Desktop Publisher
Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator
Animator
Child and Youth Worker
Special Education Teacher
High School Teacher
Elementary School Teacher
Teacher Assistant
I guess I chose a good career path since my major was "Fashion Merchandising." However, were I to do it all again, I would definately do Elementary Ed. I think 2nd or 4th grade would be quite enjoyable to teach. Truth be told, were all my children grown and gone and money not an issue, I think it would be fun to work at Heartland Paper or a fabric store. I also would love to run my own scrapbooking business and have group lessons and design cards and pages . . .
I am, however, quite delighted with my current occupation:)

I Want to be like Rachael and Mary
So, I was just sitting down (finally) and I read over the family blogs and I found it rather interesting what Mary and Rachael had done. I decided to do a little of it myself.
1. Ten years ago would have been 1997 . . . Michael and I and Meghan were living at my parent's home while they served their mission in DC. Cade and Becca were living with us, too as well as wee tiny little MiniG. My nephew, JuJu was also living with us! Michael was working at IHC. We had just our little Honda and sometimes I drove Michael to the bus stop so that I could have a car during the day. (Otherwise, he drove the car to the bus stop.) We spent $50 a week on all of our food, cleaning supplies, and necessities. I shopped at Dick's Market with a calculator in hand. I was also just about to find out that I was pregnant with Caleb.
2. Five years ago would have been 2002. I was just about to be put on bedrest with Andrew. I remember that Robert was just about to come and spend a month in Utah. In October, I would be in labor for the whole month . . .finally in November, Andrew was born weighing in at 9 pounds and setting the record for the longest umbilical cord ever recorded at LDS Hospital (as far as we know, that record still stands). Michael was working for the Lord's Book Store. We lived at our old house on Pebblecreek Drive. Meghan was 5 and in kindergarten, Caleb was 3 1/2 and going to pre-school, and Jacob was 2 and was somewhat of a living nightmere :)
3. One year ago . . . ahhh . . .funny thing . . .I was just about to go on my longest and craziest bedrest ever! I had just found out a few days prior to today a year ago that we were going to have twins. I was still throwing up everyday. The kids were off track for the entire month of September and were taking swimming lessons at the Clearfield Aquatic Center. Michael was working at Intermountain Healthcare.
4. Yesterday . . .hummm . . .the days sort of all run together it seems. Let's see. I got up at 7 am and fed the big kids breakfast. I fed the twins both baby food and a bottle, each, and then changed diapers and dressed them. I did dishes, 8 loads of laundry, fed the babies and changed them again. I made lunch for Andrew and me. It was something really spectacular like Cheerios. MIchael came home from his trip to Irvine, CA early, Caleb went on a hike for Scouts. Lots of neighbor kids played at our house. I did more dishes, fed more babies, and changed babies, again. We babysat some kids for some friends of ours. I finished a book I had been reading.
5. 5 Snacks I enjoy: chocolate chip cookies (raw or cooked), string cheese, popcorn, poppyseed or chocolate muffins, and pretty much anything chocoately.
6. 5 things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million dollars. I would pay of our house. I would pay off Dean and Claudia's house. I would buy Michael a black VW Passat with tan leather interior. I would shop exclusively for the wee babies at Gymboree and Hannah Andersson. And, I would make sure I had educational funds set up for each of our children and take our kids all over the world traveling.
7. 5 Places I would like to run away to: I would definatley want to take the kids to DisneyWorld and to Epcot in Florida. I would also like to take them all over Brasil. I would super want to take Michael on a personal tour of the Holy Land (that has always been a dream of mine). I would want to travel all over Europe as a family and stay in really nice hotels everywhere and try all kinds of yummy cuisine. I would like to go on a cruise with Michael to somewhere warm and tropical.
8. 5 Bad Habits I have: After taking a shower, I don't necessarily put my clothes immediately into a laundry basket, but rather on the bathroom counter. I pick zits. I sweat a lot when I am nervous (which is so gross and unladylike). I try and guess what people are going to say before I let them finish their sentence. I don't wear good shoes all the time (which I really should so I don't have crater feet or owie piggies).
9. 5 Things I like Doing: Getting my house organized and lighting a candle so it smells nice. I love making homemade cards and scrapbooking. I love to read Christian Fiction, especially uninterrupted (usually I have to read in the bathroom for this to happen and even then . . . ) I enjoy having friends over to eat and visit (including neighbor kids and family). I love spending time with my adorable family.
10. 5 TV shows I like: Gilmore Girls, Remington Steele, Alias (before I decided not to watch it anymore), Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Christy.
11. 5 Things I hate doing: dieting, budgeting, dusting, trying to find pants that really fit, and eating ketchup.
12. 5 Biggest Joys at the Moment: listening to the kids talk about their days, taking care of Ethan and Marta, spending time with Andrew, having quiet chats with Michael, watching our kids as they grow and see the amazing things they are each capable of and the fun personalities of of them have.
